'87 240DL WILL NOT START fuel pump relay help!!
Alright, so my dad dropped my car off at work for me, after putting some gas in her. I started her - no problems. I drove about a quarter of a mile, until the car started shuttering. After about 50 more feet, it stalled. I put her in park and restarted her. I drove about a 100 more feet, then it stalled and would not start again. I simply had NO idea what I could do to it. I had a feeling it was either a clogged fuel filter or a broken fuel pump, because the engine would rotate, but it sounded like no fuel was getting in the engine. I had the car towed to a local mechanic. He shook the fuel pump relay, and the car started. He told me if it happened again that I need to unplug the relay, and plug it back in...
So I take the car home - no problems. About after an hour sitting in my drive way, the above process started all over again. No the car is about 50 feet from my house and will NOT start.
Recently i've unplugged the power doors (by unplugging the connection in the driver door trim) and I've installed a new radio.
When I try to start the car, I can hear (and feel) a clicking the in the fuel pump relay. Could it just be that the relay needs to be replaced? or is the problem much worse.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated, i'm open to trying all ideas!
Thanks, Patrick
